Here's the official word on the BeNews story on dropping BeOS:
"Earlier today, a German website ran an article claiming that Be was planning on halting BeOS development work. This is a mistaken interpretation of our remarks on the subject. As we have stated publicly, Be is continuing to develop and release new versions of BeOS, which serves as the development environment for BeIA, our software platform for Internet appliances. We have made no change to this strategy. We appreciate the interest the Be community continues to show in BeOS."

I remember making a project back in 1991, under X-window, using athena widget, in 1991 believe me, making X11 application was hard! i found a proggy which was using X11 and i reused some of the code to open windows, using cascading menus, and so on. Of course before doing this, i emailed the author, and he said "yes fell free to reuse my code", what i did. I have no idea what was the "license" for the software, but mine was a commercial one, and the guy never asked me to release all my source code or whatever. all this just to say that what i like in free software, is when you can reuse the code freely. sometimes i am confused with all the license scheme around the worodl, gnu, apache, bsd, etc. maybe i'm talking about public domain? for me a free software is a free software with free code that people can reuse, giving credit for the part in their source, but i don't care if they sell their product and there's 100 lines of code from one of my freeware. -- BeDevId 15453 - Download BeOS R5 Lite free!
